Mother's Day is rapidly approaching. Don't wait until the last minute to buy mom a gift this year! Yes, it is the thought that counts, but show mom that you put a little more thought into her gift this Mother's Day, rather than stopping on the side of the road to purchase a bunch of overpriced flowers on your way to see her.
The Sun Jar is a large mason jar, made of frosted glass with a traditional clamp lid. It works with a rechargeable battery, a solar cell and LED lights. Inside the jar, are two switches, one to charge the battery, and the auto on/off switch. The Sun Jar works by soaking up sunlight during the day. When it gets dark, the Sun Jar automatically switches on and gives off a beautiful, warm glow. The Sun Jar also has a waterproof seal, so you can leave it outside all the time if you wish, without the weather harming it. These are so much better than candles for outside use on your deck or patio. Candles burn down and need replacing frequently, and can be affected by wind and weather. Sun Jars stay lit no matter what.
The literature inside the box said The Sun Jar should stay lit approximately 5 hours after letting it charge in direct sunlight. I tried my Sun Jar out last night and it stayed lit from 8:45pm until the sun rose this morning when it switched off - way more than 5 hours!
Not only would this make a wonderful gift for mom, they would be the perfect addition to a shabby chic or rustic wedding. I've seen so many pictures of mason jars with candles inside, lining outdoor pathways, or gathered together on tables. Sun Jars would eliminate the need to keep checking on the candles - and prevent the fire hazards presented by candles. (Many historical venues won't even allow candles.) Sun Jars would also make beautiful centerpieces and table accents. Visit Convenient Gadgets & Gifts' website for more information about the Sun Jar and other great Mother's Day gift ideas.
Disclosure: I received the Sun Jar at no cost for this review.
